June 8 & 9 ES Water Extravaganza PE Celebrations
Our annual PE Celebration of Learning, Water Extravaganza is two weeks away – June 8 for grades KG, 2, 4 and June 9 for grades 1, 3, 5. Students will participate in the Water Extravaganza for a double block, so they will not be going to their other special on this day. Students will be outside participating in a variety of water themed games and activities (Grades 4 and 5 will also use the pools).
Students need a swim bag containing the following items:
- Swimsuit or other “water clothes” (Since Grades 4 and 5 students have PE first thing in the morning, they should come to school wearing their swimsuits under PE clothes)
- A change of clothes – students must change out of their wet clothes when finished, except students in Grades 2 and 3 if they are going home right after school, and not taking a bus
- Towel
- Shoes – we recommend students wear sandals/crocs/water shoes to this event
- Water bottle – students will be active and need to stay hydrated
- Sunscreen – a face stick would be great and easy for students to use
Parents are more than welcome to come and watch, we will have a designated area for you. We look forward to hosting what is always a great day and a memorable experience for our students. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us via email.
Yours in movement,
PE Team

Panther Activities and Athletics Summer Camp Registration Opens June 1st
With the successful launch of our new after school activities/athletics registration program, CCA through PowerSchool will once again be used for our Panther Activities and Athletics Camps. Please note that registration through CCA requires payment to be completed within an hour of sign ups.
We will open CCA Registration for Summer camps from Thursday, June 1st at 6:00pm until Thursday, June 15th at 12:00pm. After that time, it will not be possible to add any students to any sports camp program or switch the program.
Camp dates are on Monday to Friday for the following period:
- June 19 – July 7, 2023
Transition
Campers who are currently G1 and Under will be required to have parents, guardians or nannies to be responsible for the camp transition during camps. No transportation, lunch or snacks are provided during camp. Please have kids bring their own water bottle. We no longer provide the paper cups on campus.
Refunds for camp
The reason we would consider a refund is:
- Your child has a medical issue that requires them to stop an activity (documentation is required).
Note:
If the number of students who sign up for summer camp is less than the minimum requirement, the program will be canceled, with refunds issued.
For questions about Panther Activities please contact Khun Bee at panchary@isb.ac.th. For questions about Panther Athletics please contact Khun Fon at punnanuw@isb.ac.th or Khun Ning at walleeb@isb.ac.th.

U11 Sports Program Update
We will be making some changes to our U11 program for the 2023-24 school year. Some of these changes are a result of agreements within our local BMAC league and some are internal changes that we believe will help to improve our athletes’ experience and the quality of our program. For more information about what U11 Sports will look like next year, please check here. We look forward to another year of seeing our programs filled with ES athletes! Go Panthers!
